Forget Daley Thompson - a rugby team will soon be sporting their own wild and wacky moustaches.

Fifteen members of Sheppey Rugby Club are taking part in a world-wide event to grow a moustache for charity.

The event is Movember, an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, to raise money and highlight men's health issues.

On November 1, the squad will all be clean shaven and their month-long challenge to grow and style their moustache however they choose will begin.

The club, which is based in Lower Road, Minster, has decided to take part in the event after one of the members joined in with it in New Zealand last year.

It will be a new look for the team, who are known as The Sheppey Rams, as none of them have moustaches.

They hope to raise about £500 which will go towards the Prostate Cancer Charity.

John Kelly, first team captain, said: "There's a style guide online - some of them are going for a trucker look and some think they might go for the businessman.

"A couple might go freestyle - which can be anything.

"We are looking forward to it - but I'm not sure if I'm going to look good with a moustache."
